Complete and Comprehensive Turbo Kits for Your Car or Truck

While certain auto enthusiasts like to argue that there's no replacement for displacement, turbocharging has long been a viable way to significantly increase engine performance. While it is technically possible to put together your own turbo kit from scratch, kits like these take the guesswork out of the equation.

The latest Subaru WRX hasn't been on the market long, and Extreme Turbo Systems wasted no time creating this turbo kit. Through their R&D process they wound up building the world's fastest '15 WRX — a car capable of running a 10.67-second quarter-mile on the drag strip with only 422 horsepower. The WRX is a quick car on any given day, but why not up your game and ensure you'll always outrun the competition?

Armageddon Turbo Systems has recently engineered a series of complete twin-turbo kits designed for GM's latest 6.2 liter V8s, taking the mighty Cadillac Escalade from properly quick to downright silly — in the best possible way. The baseline kit adds 200 horsepower on 8 psi of boost, but with optional upgrades you're looking at being able to build a mega-SUV with in excess of 1,000 horsepower.

When the Subaru BRZ first hit the market, the first complaint amongst enthusiasts was its relative lack of horsepower. Thankfully, in swept GReddy with this effective and complete turbo kit. This kit will bump the BRZ up by approximately 93 horsepower at the rear wheels, making it more than capable of keeping up with some of the bigger sports coupes on the road.

Designed with smaller four cylinder engines in mind, this universal kit is a great option when a model-specific turbo setup isn't readily available. Rated for upwards of 350 horsepower and designed to run anywhere from eight to 20 psi of boost, this is a great street-friendly turbo setup.

Twin-scroll turbochargers are great at building low-range power, which is exactly what is missing when it comes to the Honda S2000. Equally useful for street as well as racing builds, this kit is compatible with a wide range of turbochargers, so it will do the trick, whether you're looking to add 50 or 250 horsepower to the mix.

When you think of bolting on a turbo kit, odds are that doing so to a Jeep isn't the first thing that comes to mind. That said, Jeeps aren't exactly high-powered, and having a little more grunt to climb that steep trail or pull your buddy out of a mud pit can definitely help you out.

This is by far the most expensive turbo kit in the bunch, though also the one that has the most awards under its belt. The Nissan GT-R is no slouch straight from the factory, but pushing it up to roughly 1,100 horsepower at the rear wheels makes the all-wheel drive coupe an absolute menace. Don't believe us? Just watch this wild Alpha-equipped GT-R in Russia run a standing mile in less than 22 seconds...

OK, so a Suzuki Hayabusa is a motorcycle and not a car — but regardless, this kit is worthy of making our list. The combination of a compact Garret turbocharger, a water injection system, and an additional set of fuel injectors takes it from an already impressive 151 horsepower all the way up to 550 — an impressive stat for a car, let alone a motorcycle that was already considered one of the fastest on the market before this extensive modification.

The new Mustang GT is seriously quick right out of the box, but enthusiasts will always be eager to make it just a little quicker. This kit from Helion offers two different turbo sizes depending on your needs — a pair of quick-spooling 55-millimeter turbos for reduced lag and street-friendly performance, or larger 62-millimeter units that won't build boost as quickly, but can be part of a larger engine build to get the burly V8 up to roughly 1,200 horsepower.

Banks Power builds kits of all shapes and sizes, though this one has by far the broadest range of adaptability. This kit is ideal for any Chevrolet small-block V8 found in countless variations of General Motors hot rods, trucks, and other miscellaneous bits of Americana.

The Hyundai Genesis isn't exactly slow out of the gate, but bringing it up to 500+ horsepower will make it a true force to be reckoned with. This kit includes a massive 64-millimeter Turbonetics turbocharger, a front-mount intercooler, and all the necessary bits of plumbing to get you up and running with the big dogs.
